Here comes Florida. That’s the message the head of Space Florida conveyed to Florida Today in today’s issue. Steve Kohler said that he has been talking to Virgin Galactic “among others”, trying to lure them to establish operations in the state. Kohler didn’t indicate if those discussions with Virgin were for operations in addition to the company’s announced plans in New Mexico, or as a backup should the company become disenchanted with the Land of Enchantment. Kohler admitted that New Mexico has already made a big financial commitment, “But there’s a long way from that and something coming out of the ground.”
